Year 1, Day 98: home working, gratitudes, daughter

I appreciate:

  1. Having a job that allows me to work from home in my jammies!
  2. The exquisite gratitude postings by my friends. It brightens my day so much to hear about the good things in your lives!
  3. That I still miss my daughter every time she goes back to school. I’m so lucky to have kids I adore so much. ♥

Year 1, Day 94: friends, family, coworkers

I appreciate the wonderful people in my life. I feel utterly grateful to be surrounded by so much grace, wisdom, gentleness and wit. I appreciate all of you so very much. Thank you for making my life the beautiful thing it is.

I appreciate:

  • My family. I’m lucky to be able to count my family members, including my husband and kids, parents, siblings, and cousins, as friends. What a generous, lively, interesting, funny group of people!
  • My chosen family, including dear friends here in town, fellow improvisers, friends from Song School, old friends from childhood.
  • Friends whom I’ve never met in person, but have come to love just as dearly, including my word-geek friends from Bitwordy. 🙂
  • Clients and colleagues who share similar values and who are such a joy to work with.

When I consider how many truly lovely people I encounter on a regular basis, it takes my breath away.

I appreciate:

  1. That day 91 (well, 91.25, so depending on whether we’re using the 24-hour day starting at midnight or my real day which started at about 6:45, either 6 am or 12:45 pm…) represents the first quarter year of posting daily appreciation on FB. Yay gratitude! Yay numbers! Yay geekiness!
  2. Caffeine. Can you tell who’s had more than her usual dose this morning?!?? 😛 Yay caffeine!
  3. Exclamation points and smiley faces!!! 🙂
  4. Last night with little Miss R. So much fun to spend time with her. Fills my heart right up! ♥ ♥ ♥

Year 1, Day 88: people, people, people

Today I appreciate sooooo many people:

  • Thank you, MN, for being such a cool state. We raised over 16 million dollars for more than 4,000 non-profit organizations, including 2 of my favorites, Avalon Charter School and HUGE Theater.
  • Thank you FB friends for tolerating incessant posts and pleas for donations during the past 2 days. 😉
  • Thank you, Janet Brown, for tipping the scale with your donation last night. You are a rock star! ♥ Between the 3 teams I played on and my own page, I helped raise over $500 of the $10,000+ raised for HUGE.
  • Thank you to the countless people who stayed up for 28 hours and made this such an inspiring, exciting event!
  • Thank you, hundreds of improvisers, for taking risks, making choices, and creating beautiful and funny art before our eyes.
